Meet Albert Mejía, a 13-year-old Venezuelan prospect from the 2030 class whom the Yankees have a pre-agreement with for a record-setting $7 million deal ($6.4M signing bonus + $600K education scholarship). He can officially sign at age 16.
One international scout called Mejía “the best player in the history of the international market,” adding, “He could play in a professional league right now. At his age, no one does what he does.”
For an MLB club to commit this level of money to a player so young is completely unprecedented.
